Things must move on eventually, I suppose. I just really hope they reach feature parity before then. It sounds like most of the annoyances that have kept people from migrating are being tackled, so I'm hopeful.

I'll look into those, thank you!

(I currently set up my APL keymap via .Xmodmap with xmodmap, and setxkbmap for X11 terms, and with 'loadkeys' for console.)

Great info! I will try it when I decide to trial-run Wayland again, thank you!

(Some things I had read online suggested that Wayland did not use the x11 configs. If it does, that's good news.)

As someone who hasn't yet moved to Wayland, how good is support these days for alternate keyboard mappings? Is this something that each individual window manager needs to support, or does Wayland itself manage them?

Not just "international keyboard" support, but truly arbitrary keyboard/symbol mapping support. I muddle in programming with APL, which needs its own key mapping with Unicode symbols.

I recall KDE had its own mapping support which used some system APL layout but I'd rather not have key mappings tied to a specific window manager.

Can we start with Sam Altman please? Hah.

I was amazed at first with ChatGPT, outpainting, and the early stuff; it was fun making 'paintings' and playing with other imagery, but the main uses are taking such a dark turn I really think we're going to regret this technology's existence.

With modern face recognition, ... If you want anonymity then don't include your face (or signature) in the video.

Duh, good point :)

Web of trust -- it's always been so hard to make easy enough to use for the non-technical public, sadly... but yeah that might be the only/best way to really give attestation.

This is scary indeed. We may someday soon need something like an active tattoo on our face, or a badge on clothing, with a pattern that changes each second based on a private/public key pair, so videos can't be easily faked of our own likeness with a valid visual signature.

That could actually work -- a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature. It could be validated to certify the video of a person was genuine.

Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(

So how does this work? Can they come to her home state and take her into custody?

I hope we keep the clearly-marked signs up regardless of the 30-day reprieve announced today.

We cannot just go back to the way things were.

At least, their goverment. I know there are still goid people 'down there' but first they need to give fascists the boot. then we can talk about rebuilding trust.

Yup.

Fuck it, I'm still avoiding US products for this BS. Sorry to those it will hurt, but there need to be consequences.
